Description

My favorite recipe for classic homemade hot chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups plain milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows or chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Heat. Combine the milk, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla and sea salt in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture almost reaches a simmer. (We want it to be steaming, but avoid coming to a boil.)
  2. Add the chocolate chips. Add in the chocolate chips and whisk until they are melted and evenly combined.
  3. Serve. Remove from heat. Serve warm, garnished with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
